Bandera debate team advances to UIL Congressional State Meet
On Monday, Nov. 13, the Bandera High School Congressional debate team captured two of the three State qualifying spots at the Regional meet held at La Vernia High School.
This is only Bandera's third year to compete in Congress, and it is a very young team. However, a combination of talent and preparation allowed for a near clean sweep of the final placements.
Individual awards went to:
(Sophomore) Carter Rissmiller - 6th place
(Senior) Steven Koonce - 5th place (second alternate)
(Junior) Isabella Chapa - 4th place (first alternate)
(Junior) Micah McCreary - 2nd place and state qualifier
(Sophomore) Cassandra Steffler - Regional Champion and state qualifier
The UIL Congressional State Meet will be held Jan. 9 - 11, 2024, at The University of Texas at Austin.
